...Britain's right to be in the zone, there is no doubt. Although torn up by the Egyptians in 1951, the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 does not expire until 1956.

On medical grounds the chill was somewhat inexplicable, since Sir Ralph, hale & hearty, had been seen playing a rousing game of cricket only the day before.
